Home tip: Disco ball!

My friend had a surprisingly brilliant idea for her house: Get a disco ball. It sounds random, but it creates such AMAZING light in her apartment during the day. She recommends putting it on the floor to get better light, and the whole room looks magical and ethereal. I'm excited to try one ourselves. Would you do it?

I have disco ball ornaments for my Christmas tree and I just love when they get the light just right and leave drops of sunshine all over the room. Love this idea. I ought to pull them back out and keep them in a bowl or something. Chic.

Wow, that looks amazing! We have a small disco ball Christmas ornament that I've never hung on my tree, we keep it in the kitchen window instead. It makes me so happy and the dog loves chasing the spots of light that sparkle down to the floor.

I would absolutely do this. As it is, with three daughters we have a lot of clothing with sequins, when the laundry gets (cough cough) left out for a day or two, the sun often catches on the sequins sending prism blurs all over the room. Magic!

When I first saw the title of the post I was baffled as to how that would not be cheesy but this is so cute! I love that the natural light from the window is what is causing the reflections! I stand corrected...totally cool!

while i'm no so sure i'd dive into putting a big disco ball in the living room, i might do what others have said and hang a disco ball Christmas ornament in the window! it might give off the same sparkle :)

I didn't have a huge disco ball, but I used to have a little bowl of small mirrored ornaments. I left it on our coffee table and the light in the afternoon was great. When kids came over, they did have a tendency to try and throw them around, so I no longer have them anymore. But, it is beautiful.

I have seen this in some other homes, so I jumped on the Hobby Lobby post-Christmas sale for some disco ball ornaments. I keep them in a wooden ball on our dining table and call it "Magic Hour" when the light hits them just right. It's lovely! I took a photo here: http://web.stagram.com/p/642200374673642935_11575740

I had been talking about wanting one for months and my pal got me one for Christmas this year - I absolutely love it! It makes me smile every time I walk into the room! Thinking of getting cats this summer and can only imagine how they'll react : P

My mum has one in her house, which sits on her kitchen windowsill and catches the light when she comes downstairs to make coffee in the mornings - a most cheering display first thing in the morning. Extra nice because it was a table decoration from our friends' Studio 54-themed wedding and brings back great disco memories!

I had 6 mini disco balls in my window from the age of 14, (12 years ago) and they threw the most beautiful light across the room. I loved spinning them in the sunshine when I was stuck in bed with hayfever in the summer. It was the best thing EVER!

We have a disco ball hanging in our bay window - it definitely brings a smile to my face when the sun shines in on it and casts little specks of light around the room! Never thought of putting one on the floor, though. Those pictures look so magical!

My name is Victoria Cole, I almost took my life because of my ex wholeft me and stop picking my calls. He said do not trust me anymore, Itried to convince him, but he will not believe me until we had a fightand broke up for 8months, after then I realize I can not live withouthim because of the love I have for him. I tried everything possible toget him back, but non worked for me, some fake spell casters scammedme and went away with my money until I came across this man called TheGreat prophet Elisha, he cast a spell for me and behold my ex came backafter three days, begging me for forgiveness, I was so surprised thatspell caster like The Great prophet Elisha still exist. If anyone hereneeds some help, with all sincerity, contact The Great prophet Elisha via his email:prophetelisha1@live.com

My disco ball came last night via UPS. In the dark, I thought I was crazy buying such a tacky huge mirrored ball for my traditional living room. But I remember reading the best design has some surprising object in each room that doesn't "go." This morning the light has been catching the different mirrors casting AMAZING dots all over the room. Best decorating decision I've made in a long time. :)
